How to combine 2 Microsoft word documents

Situatie

After you send a document out for review, you might get a lot of copies back with suggestions and revisions you don’t want to miss. When that happens, combine all those edits and ideas into one document.

Solutie

1. Click Review > Compare > Combine.

A pop-up window lets you choose the Original document and the Revised document.

Under Original document, click the down arrow and choose the document you sent for review. If you need to browse to the file’s location, click the folder icon. Remember, this is the original document that you worked on without any changes or modifications.
Under Revised document, choose the document you want to merge.
In the Label unmarked changes with box, type a name or phrase so you’ll know who suggested the changes.
Click More to get more options for combining the documents.
Under Show changes in, click New document.
Click OK.Word opens a new document that combines the original document and the copy you merged with it. The screen is divided into three sections. One section shows the Revisions made, the middle section shows the combined document, and the third section,which is split in two, displays the Original document and Revised document.

If that’s too much information on the screen, click Compare > Show Source Documents > Hide Source Documents. Note the red vertical line that shows where changes were made.
When you’ve resolved the combined changes the way you want, save the document.
